It's been four weeks

    It's been four weeks since I've started this adventure.  I've learned a lot about myself and my eating habits.  I've worked at it.  I've changed some things.  I've definitely struggled.  I move forward two steps and step back one and a half, BUT there's forward progress.

    I estimate I've lowered my calories to about 2200 to 2500 per day.  It's about 500 to 1200 calories less than I was eating (see this blog and this blog).   I seem to handle that well without feeling like I'm starving.  I've gained some energy back.  I'm blogging regularly again (although I missed yesterday....it WAS Friday the 13th....  LMBO!)

    My rough idea in my head is to try and maintain at this calorie level for a couple weeks and then lower it again.  Of course, there's always the exercise  that I haven't even TRIED to fit into my day.  We are supposed to close on the new house on the 30th (We are trying to get it moved up).  The next couple weeks are going to be really busy.  I'm using that as an excuse to not start too many new things.

    I did finally speak to my friend who is the physical trainer.  She suggested this week I start adding in more fruits and veggies.  Okay.  I've heard of those......  8^/  We have an "appointment" to meet up on Tuesdays.  It'll be good.

    So, this morning I weighed myself.  It said 305.  4 pounds, one per week.  Not bad, considering all the struggles I've been having.  And I doesn't feel as if I've really done anything.  So here's the pictures I took this morning (I tried to smile today):

    I don't see much difference (it's four pounds) and the pictures suck.  I may have to ask my hubby for help.

    More to come.  See you tomorrow.
